With over a decade of experience in the wedding photography industry, Jennifer Boris has established herself as a leading professional, blending her love for editorial sophistication with a genuine passion for capturing authentic, candid moments. Her work, often described as “timeless meets modern,” has been featured in various publications—a testament to her unique artistry and dedication. “I photograph with an editorial eye but always want my photographs to have a candid, authentic feel to them,” she states.
Jennifer’s talent has taken her far and wide. While based in Detroit, she logged 36 flights last year capturing weddings across the US & Europe. Her favorite destinations to date? “My favorite destination I've booked a wedding in is either the South of France or Mexico!” she reveals, with a clear fondness for photographing couples in stunning locations.
This wide-ranging experience allows Jennifer to bring a fresh perspective to each wedding she photographs. Whether in an elegant villa in France or a sun-soaked Mexican beach, her images reflect the unique personality of each couple and the beauty of their surroundings.
Jennifer’s photography style is defined by its combination of modern sophistication and timeless elegance. “Timeless meets modern sophistication!” she says enthusiastically when asked to describe her work. Her love for true-to-life colors in post-processing ensures that her photos feel authentic while maintaining that enduring quality.
However, it’s her black-and-white imagery that sets her apart. “The bold black and whites I’m known for,” she says with pride, referring to the depth and emotion captured in these images. For Jennifer, black-and-white photography transcends color, capturing the raw emotion of the moment in a way that color sometimes cannot.
One of the things that truly sets Jennifer apart is her ability to make her clients feel at ease. Known for her warm personality, she has a unique gift for helping couples relax in front of the camera. “One of the most consistent remarks I get from couples is about how warm my personality is and how I make them feel so confident and comfortable in front of the camera,” she explains. “I think that truly allows them to drop their guard and be themselves which in turn allows that authentic and candid feel to emerge from my photographs.”
This connection with her clients is a cornerstone of Jennifer’s process. She’s deeply invested in their stories and ensures that every couple she works with feels heard and understood.
For Jennifer, the true joy of being a wedding photographer comes from capturing one of the most important days in a couple’s life. Getting to capture one of my couples most important days and be the lens by which they remember their day by!” she exclaims. “And give them photographs that their friends and family will utterly obsess over!”
This enthusiasm for her craft is matched by a deep sense of responsibility. Jennifer knows that her photographs will be cherished for years to come, and she takes that role seriously. It’s this passion for preserving memories that drives her to deliver the best possible experience for each couple.
When it comes to wedding photography, Jennifer knows that flexibility is key. She works closely with couples to provide packages that meet their specific needs, including varying levels of coverage. “8-12 hours depending on timeline & how much dancing coverage they want!” she says of her standard coverage offerings.
Custom proposals are a key part of her approach. “I create custom proposals for all of my couples to best fit their unique wedding photography needs,” she says. No two weddings are the same, and Jennifer ensures that her services are tailored to match the vision of each couple.
Jennifer’s experience has given her plenty of insight into what makes a great photographer-client relationship, and her number one piece of advice is simple: trust your photographer. “Find a photographer whose work you love and can see yourself in and then hand over the reigns and fully trust them to create the work that drew you to them in the first place!” she advises.
For Jennifer, this trust is essential in allowing her to create the best possible images. When couples feel comfortable and confident, that’s when the magic happens—and it’s something she strives for with every wedding she shoots.
Jennifer Boris is more than just a wedding photographer. She is an artist with a deep passion for capturing love stories in a way that feels both modern and timeless. With her editorial eye, bold black-and-whites, and genuine connection to her clients, she continues to be a leading figure in the wedding photography world.
